Cracker Barrel Closure Highlights Portland's Growing Crisis

Dear fellow conservatives,

I am writing to you today with a heavy heart, as once again we find ourselves silenced by Big Tech. It seems that our voices are not welcome on this platform, while Democrats and left-leaning media are free to voice their criticisms without fear of reprisal.

As you may know, our reporting focuses on free speech, and this has made us a target for those who wish to silence us. They have deliberately removed our ability to earn revenue from our content, by restricting our account from showing ads and removing the revenue that helps our fellow writers and video editors pay.

But we will not be silenced. We are dedicated to providing you with the news and opinions that mainstream media is trying to downplay. We will be relaunching our website, TheAmericanRepublik, in a few days to give you unlimited access to articles that you won't find anywhere else.

But we need your help. We rely on your support to keep our website running and to pay our team of writers and editors. Any amount of donation, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated.

Summary:

Portland, Oregon, a city once celebrated for its food, culture, and natural beauty, is now facing a crisis of crime, homelessness, and drug abuse. This situation is driving businesses and residents away, with the latest casualty being Cracker Barrel, the popular restaurant chain known for its Southern-inspired comfort food and country-themed gifts. While the company cited the pandemic's impact on its business as the reason for closing its last remaining Portland location, employees revealed that the real reason was the security issues in the area, including theft, vandalism, and drug use.

The closure of Cracker Barrel is just one of many issues facing Portland in recent years. Shootings and homicides have reached record levels, car thefts have doubled since 2019, and the homelessness crisis remains unresolved. Police staffing levels have also dropped significantly, making it increasingly difficult to maintain order within the city limits. As a result, over 2,600 businesses in Portland have closed their doors due to a combination of factors, including the pandemic and political unrest.
